Flight 3/3. All three beers are translucent amber. If any difference can be detected, #2 may be marginally paler. That's what it looks like. Even the heads look equal: dense moussy creamy, one finger and then a neat lace ring. Have to conclude that the third beer's olfactory provision remains pretty impotent, too. I'm picking a bit of tangerine and orange peel plus a truly remote sigh of mango. The flavor cocktail tries to be more tropical but fails to take the route far enough. Grapefruit, orange, orange peel, resin and a suggestion of canned mandarin. Okayish. The body is light-medium but not more than that. Finishes similarly to upfront and leaves a drying feeling on the gums. In addition, the mouthfeel is light-medium, somewhat crisp, zesty but also modestly closed and a bit dry. Also lip-glueing

Flight 2/3. All three beers are translucent amber. If any difference can be detected, #2 may be marginally paler. That's what it looks like. Even the heads look equal: dense moussy creamy, one finger and then a neat lace ring. Equally subdued fragrance here, as well, but more citrus though. Grapefruit peel and zest moderately. Tastewise, this is straightforward and ungimmicky. Tangerine and orange take the lead, followed by grapefruit peel and a drop of resin. A malty backbone can also be identified. The body beats that of beer #1: it's light-medium to medium, yet the ABV is significantly lower. Points for it! The mouthfeel is medium, zesty, a tad crisp, refreshing, clean and balanced. Slightly dry and drying, too.

Very nice and refreshing on a hot day. Juicy, with a clear taste of apricot.

First, brown can with Hailwood Motorcycle graphics; Atlas is on-point with their design and branding. Bland on the nose and front of palette. Action is all across the middle with definite rye malt and hops bitterness. The bitter carries into the back that lingers with a little maltiness. All in all very good and interesting.

Great Pale Ale, bonus points for reference to the DC Punk Rock scene of the mid-80s. Very drinkable, lots of citrus, a little malt, bitterness throughout and carrying after, but not offensive. A bit of lemon-peel on the finish.
